"My name is Eoin, and I'm mentally ill. Every day is filled with whispers, and every night with tears. Nothing can stop the unrelenting sounds that tear my life apart. Now there's a new doctor, and a miracle pill. But instead of banishing the whispers, it gives them a voice, and that voice is telling me that my doctor is out to get me"Eoin Murphy is a 15 year old boy caught between two worlds. When his mysterious new doctor proposes a radical treatment, he jumps at the chance to rid himself of the haunting whispers that plague his thoughts. But the whispers do not go away. Instead there is a new voice, stronger and clearer than those before, one with dire warnings and strange demands. The voice tells Eoin that his doctor is lying and will get him killed. Isolated from his family, Eoin must decide who he will believe, as the world he thought he knew crumbles around him. Who can he trust, his doctor, or the other whisper?
About the Author: I was born and raised in Dublin Ireland by two wonderful parents who I won't embarrass by naming here. I have always written, though it took many years before I managed to write anything of length (Nevermind of quality). The first thing I wrote that gathered attention was a Role Play Game scenario called 'Dungeons Dimensions & Dragons'. I wrote this scenario under the... insistant persuasion of my friend Andrew, whom I will embarrass by naming here. The scenario won best written game at Gaelcon Games convention 2009. I recieved my prize and I was informed that I had to write another one for next year. So began years of writing sell out scenarios, many of which can be found in the Games section of this website. I enjoy writing scenarios, and running them, but there was a need for something more. I knew I wanted to write a novel, but I lacked the drive, the purpose, and most importantly, any idea of what to write. Then I read about the Terry Pratchett Unpublished Author competition. Here was an opportunity, and as I read about it, an idea came to me. And so began 'The Other Whisper'. It was a struggle to find the time to write, and to be honest I don't know if I would have got it done in time were it not for the advice, encouragement and friendly competition from my friend and fellow author Lora O'Brien. I wasn't selected for the shortlist of the competition, though with over 500 entries it was always going to be stiff competition. But a little boutique publishing house Wolfpack Publishers read my novel and liked it so much they will be publishing it on 25th November 2013. Click here to view detais of the launch event. There are not enough emoticons on the internet to express how ecstatic and scared that makes me, all at once. Other than that, I'm just me, I live in Dublin with my beautiful wife, 2 gerbils 2 dwarf hamsters and a cockatiel.
